Are u kidding me? They were so much better than they were under horton's tenure its not even funny, minus 08. We had a bad game. It happens. But to throw lake under the bus? Come on dude. Lebeau calls the plays and ike picked the wrong day to have his worst game of his career........

The secondary is taking so much blame, but there's plenty to go around. The D, once again, put no pressure on the QB. The OLine once again stopped the d as well as my screens stop the wind. The game planning (both O and D yesterday) was poor. Tomlin has been pretty inconsistent this year, having an unpreparred team way too many times.

In tight games one play...

Picking 3 plays out of hundreds is a ridiculous way to judge a coach. The secondary was very improved this year. like was stated earlier no team can expect DB to cover for 5+ seconds!!!

often make the difference between winning and losing. In a tight Division race, one or two games makes the difference between playing at home and a bye, and going on the road as a wildcard team. Without the first 2 lapses I listed, Steelers win Division. And the 3rd lapse never even happens.

So much for Carnell Lake's first year as DB Coach. Great players don't always make great coaches.

1 Troy takes bad angle...not coach's fault,Troy made a mistake...
2 Smith gets behind...WR are paid to make plays too... even though quite a few receivers get behind Gay I doubt he's coached that way.
3. Looks on that play there should have been help over the top..if there wasn't supposed to be then it's coaches fault.

Overall I think the DB play improved this season over last,hard to argue with so few plays over 30 yds during season,now with so many plays over in Denver game that would be a huge problem. If they had played that poorly all year we would not have made playoffs !!
